anim GIF of "praystation_flash" / rust + ruffle + swf presentation playback system. showcasing how you can split the screen into cells, load swfs, set background colors, modify scale, set reload timers, set/playback audio, AND final fullscreen mode. for gallery/museum playback.

once I got all the kinks/functionality finished I'll commit to my github / github.com/hype

sharing some "virgil" orchestrator dashboard screenshots. been so helpful to builld a herdr + omp + jev dashboard to help make sense of 31 years and hundreds of thousands of past projects and files. attaching every project to it's own .git for memory/decisions/context has been A+

the dark tower...

making some good progress with rust + ruffle + swf presentation playback

🟪 Herbert's 100th birthday in 2027 🟪
ASTROPOETICON 2027: the Foundation's project
Celebrating the visionary with members of the community of generative art

ASTROPOETICON—a 16-poem cycle by Herbert—comes to life as a series of stunning immersive worlds, built around Eric Ash’s . Philosophically profound, the poems explore the cosmic laws of physics, the evolutionary paths that spark life, and the ultimate question: Are we alone and can we get into communication with these alien civilizations?
The foundation is proud to announce that all visual pieces now finished. We are now moving into post-production. This phase focuses on developing an overall immersive 5.1 audio landscape for planetariums, expanding on the original sound design.

Stay tuned for updates on our 2027 performance schedule!

Things I would also love to see again (partial list)

yugo nakamura @yugop site again around this time
Flash works from @pitaru James Patterson press tube
Soda constructor / moovle
@johnmaeda and ACG applets many Peter cho works like singlecell or doublecell
All the @liasomething director works
@JoshuaDavis and Hillman Curtis flash works from this era

Was going through some past articles of mine, and came across this screenshot. Been feeling a bit lost with everything these days, so that's a really good reminder from @JoshuaDavis and wblut

The Kohi Virtual Machine (KVM) renders new works with new capabilities, but @kohiart's legacy catalog by me, @eepmon and @JoshuaDavis are fully preserved. All three collections copy-pasted to the compiler on ownable.art/#/p5c.
